DIcRANOWEISIA ANTARCTICA (€. Muell.), Раг. Mt. Cook district (Murray, 
No. 126), efr. Det. Brotherus. This is one of the very interesting additions 
to the New Zealand Нога. It is recorded by Paris from Marion Г., Hermite 
Т., and Campbell. T., only, and is therefore of exclusively subantaretic dis- 
tribution, Like several allied species it has a peculiar configuration of the 
leaves when dry, the upper part being strongly contorted while the lower half 
remains erect and unaltered. 
ГвосотомА Menztresit (Tayl.), var. rigipum (Hook. f. & Wils). Waita- 
karei Hills (Murray, No. 7). Paris, it may be noted, has omitted to give 
Tasmania in the distribution of this species. 
L. BiLLARDIERI (Schwaeg.), Broth. Waitakarei Hills (Murray, Nos. 18, 
22). 
L. sUBPUNGENS (Hampe), Broth. Mt. Cook district (Murray, No. 115), 
cfr. Det. Brotherus. Recorded hitherto, I believe, only from Australia and 
Tasmania, 
L. DICRANOIDES, Broth. (Dicranum leucolomoides, C. Muell.). Mt. Cook 
district (Murray, No. 117), ег. Det. Brotherus. 
L. serostM (Hook. f. & Wils.), Broth. Mt. Cook district (Murray, No. 129). 
Levcotoma sp. Mt. Cook district (Murray, No. 92). А plant in small 
quantity whieh I have not at present been able to determine. 
L. rosusroM (Hook. f. & Wils.), Broth, Lake Wakatipu, South I. 
(Meiklejohn, No. 4). 
L. PeNaENTELLA (C. Muell.), Broth.  Mauriceville, Wairarapa, North L., 
1909 (Gray, No. 14). (Pl. 20. figs. 12-14.) 
This was found by Mr. Gray growing in extensive dense patehes 6 inches 
deep, in the bush under trees, and was observed by him for several years 
without showing any fruit. A capsule which appeared one year was found 
to belong to L. Billardieri, which grew associated with it and at first sight 
closely resembled it. It was evidently a close ally of L. Billerdieri, with 
which Dr. Brotherus was inclined to associate it: but it presented certain 
characters of some weight, especially in the arrangement of the leaves, which 
are erecto-patent, not or very rarely and only slightly faleato-seeund, and 
frequently, but not always, collected at the apex of the stem into a penicillate 
tuft or point, and also in the subtubulose entire or subentire subula, and the 
nerve, which is smooth or almost so at back. It appeared to be very near 
D. Pungentella, C. Muell, and through Herr L. Loeske’s kindness I was 
enabled to compare it with С. Mueller's type in the Berlin Herbarium, and 
both Herr Loeske and myself felt no doubt of the identity of the two plants, 
allowing for a slight difference in habit. Herr Loeske at the same time
